Attorney David MacMain informed Judge L. Felipe Restrepo during the trial in June, New Castle County Delaware that Moses made a whole lot of bad decisions that night.

Moses’ family’s legal representative, Emeka Igwe, had argued that Moses had been “murdered” by “rogue officers,” and that the court should decide whether the officers and the New Castle County, Delaware should be held accountable. He also denied the claim that Ieradi, who fired the shot that annihilated Moses and has since left the police department, acted in self-defense out of concern for him and fellow officers safety.

Six weeks after the federal judge heard the claims on the defendants’ demand for a decision in their favor without a trial, the representative of Moses’ estate signed the settlement document on July 21. The New Castle County, Delaware makes no acknowledgment of fault or culpability as part of the settlement.

In the rental car’s driver’s seat, with the gearbox engaged, the engine running, and the dome light on, the cops discovered Moses unconscious, according to video from the officers’ body cameras. Moses had more than 100 times the fatal quantity of fentanyl in his system, according to a toxicology study.

After a cop used his baton to switch off the ignition while reaching through the open driver’s side window, Moses was awakened. At that point, Moses rolled up the window while the police unlocked the door.
